My cycles average at about 29-30 days with a 14 day luteal phase. I tested today at 11DPO and yesterday at 10DPO, both BFN. I have felt like I'm pregnant, which is why I tested. I usually NEVER test and just wait for AF.

How sure are you of your O date, and what brand test did you use? FRER claims in their study that all pregnant women had a positive result on their test at 11dpo, and 68% had a positive result at 10dpo so I usually think 11dpo is pretty accurate if you are sure about your O date.

I didn't test until 13DPO, because that's when AF was due, but 10-11DPO still seems like it could be a bit early for a BFP, especially if you happened to ovulate a day or two late.

@pui: I charted before and up to ovulation, then stopped after I confirmed my O date.

wondfos can be a little touchy but I'd think you should have a line by 12dpo since you know the O date. anything is possible of course, but I start preparing myself by 12dpo.

I never had good luck with wondfo's. At 12dpo I was getting a very clear positive on FRER's and a barely there squinter on a wondfo. That could have been a bad batch though!

I agree- You're definitely not out until AF arrives, or I guess in my case- when an ultrasound shows an empty womb.

Hey-I'm in EXACTLY the same boat. BFN this morning on FRER and I'm 11DPO. I assume I'm done, but I'm going to stop testing because it's upsetting...:-/ Hang in there !!!!!

@CatchAFallingStar: I didn't get a BFP with Chloe until I was 12DPO. Anything before that was stark white. I say you aren't out!

@Mrs. Jump Rope: yay! Thanks! If I'm out, at least I can look forward to IUI next cycle.

@Mrs. Jump Rope: You have made me feel so much better! I had a stark white at 10DPO, and I am worried that meant I was completely out.

@Mrs. Jump Rope: thank you. I got a stark white BFN this morning (11 DPO), and am going to make myself wait until 13/14 if AF doesn't show. Thanks for the hope!!!

It ain't over til AF shows her ugly head. Sending good baby thoughts your way!

@ChiCalGoBee: Let me know if you test again! I might test on Wednesday.
nectarine / 2028 posts
@CatchAFallingStar: the last few have been 28 days, although I have had a 33-day cycle back a few months ago. It's so hard to not know! You should definitely let me know if you test! Maybe Weds for me.... FX!!

@CatchAFallingStar: 29. Not sure if that makes a difference...I hadn't even considered age in this whole ordeal!
@theotherstark: thank you! Ugh, to test or not...blah. How did your cycle go?!

@ChiCalGoBee: Still waiting. I got a BFN yesterday at 12dpo (stark white, not even a hint of a squint ), so I'm just going to wait for another few days. If AF hasn't come by, say, Thursday, I'll probably break down and test again. That would be 15 dpo. Are you holding out until Wednesday?
pomegranate / 3045 posts
@Mrs. J: Oh wow! That is reassuring Did you get BFNs before that, or just hold out until 15 dpo?

@theotherstark: I had possible squinters on Wondfo, but BFNs on FRER. My BFP was on a digi...and now baby is almost 3 months old!

At 13 DPO I had a BARELY visible 2nd line on a Wondfo. At 14 DPO, day AF was due, I had 2 positive digitals. Don't give up!
nectarine / 2028 posts
@theotherstark: totally caved. BFFFN. Whiter than white. I'm beginning to hate FRERs. If for some reason AF doesn't show up by Thursday (14 DPO), I might use a digi....but I doubt I'll get that lucky. I have zero symptoms beyond being sleepy and a sore back. I don't feel pregnant.
pomegranate / 3045 posts
@ChiCalGoBee: Hey, they say that no symptoms can be a symptom! You're not out yet
I'm tired today too, although that's only because I woke up at 1am and couldn't get back to sleep. Ha.
